Home Servers

I'm considering upgrading the house server. I currently have an old Athlon 2000 running as my main server. I've got it Ubuntu Gutsy with Apache and a few other knick-knacks installed. I've been playing around with VMWare server for the past year or so and I've decided I'd like to have a heafy box at home to handle a couple of virtual images.

I'd like to be able to run images I use for work from the server rather than running them from my laptop, unfortunately that requires a ton of memory. So looking for a decent box with a ton of memory to keep multiple VMs up and running. I was considering buying but after exploring the options it might just be best to build to get what I'm after.
